Villagers from 40 clusters were sampled to represent the premarital age population and asigned into two groups, intervention and comparison. The imervemion was designed co enhance risk perception and increase knowledge about HIV testing. Interviews were performed before and after the intervention. At baseline, 23% of 398 participants had been tested for HIV at least once and 9% reported testing positive. Most participants perceived that they had no chance of being infected with HTV. Among the intervention group, 71 % participated in the intervention activities. The risk ratio of HIV-TC acceptance among the intervention group was 2.92, but the risk difference was only 8.11 %. Factors associated with HIV-TC acceptance were ever having had a sexually transmitted disease, being previously married, intention to get tested, and having participated in AIDS-related activities.
